Dobbs Dynamic Clubfoot Bar
Indicated for the treatment of Typical and Atypical /Complex Clubfoot

Is the traditional fixed bar and booties causing blisters on the back of your child's heels? Does your child become frustrated and fussy and start crying every time you go to put his/her clubfoot brace on? Is your child having problems sleeping in the traditional clubfoot bar? Do you have a little escape artist who is constantly pulling out of the booties? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Many parents experience some or all of these problems and have to take their child out of the brace, which is understandable. However, once the brace is removed, it's harder to get the child back into it and the child runs the risk of developing recurrent clubfoot which then requires more treatment before going back into the brace. Dr. Matthew Dobbs, MD an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in clubfeet at St. Louis Children's Hospital has invented a new dynamic clubfoot brace that finally addresses all of these problems. Parents of children with clubfeet everywhere are praising his new brace patented as the "Dobbs Bar." The Dobbs Bar lets children move and kick their legs independently which gives clubfoot kids new-found freedom when it comes to crawling and being more active in the brace. Children fuss less and sleep better in the Dobbs Bar because it's more comfortable and less restrictive. The independent movement prevents heel ulcers and keeps the kids from pulling out of the booties. The results are happier parents, happier kids and improved compliance.

Compliance Rate
"Our new brace has resulted in our compliance
rate increasing from 40 to 95 percent."

Benefits

Children can kick and move their legs independently so they can crawl and be more active.
No more blisters and red spots on the back of the heels. Because the brace moves with the child, friction on the heel is greatly reduced.
The independent movement and greater mobility of the brace prevents the kids from escaping and pulling out of the booties.
Children sleep better in the Dobbs Bar because they can get comfortable. Children can sleep with one leg straight and the other bent which reduces stress on the child's knees.
The Dobbs Bar is completely adjustable from 8 to 14 inches in order to keep up with the growth of the child.
